Visual Analysis

 This is one of my personal favorites. It is by Robert Doisneau. It was taken in the 1950's and is called
 Le Baiser de l'hotel de ville.  This is a photograph of 2 people kissing in the bust streets of Paris. I love how everything is rushing around these two individuals which makes them stick out. It is so simplistic and beautiful.
The contrast in light creates a light feeling about the photo that make the photo have a loving tone.

So my article was about the French IMF minister, Dominique Strauss- Kahn. Earlier this year he was charged with attempted rape by a New York Hotel Maid in the United States. After months of trials, the French minister has returned home. The trial was the effect of the allegations made by the maid against Kahn. Kahn was found guilty on 7 charges, but the New York Judge waived the sexual assault charge.

Now the police are questioning him. The editorial says that the French are praising Kahn and his will to overcome the American Legal System and the author is outraged by the praise.
